Trump Administration to Cut 80,000 VA Jobs, Raising Concerns Over Veterans' Care

Eighty thousand jobs — that's the number that the Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to slash, rolling back staffing to pre-2020 levels. VA Secretary Doug Collins insists the cuts won't affect veterans' healthcare benefits, calling it a move toward efficiency. However, veterans groups and lawmakers from both parties are alarmed, warning that mass layoffs could reduce access to care and essential services for millions of veterans. The memo tells agency leaders to begin restructuring in August, and work with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to streamline operations. But many are warning that these cuts will leave the VA struggling. Sen. Richard Blumenthal called it a "betrayal" that will leave veterans frustrated and underserved.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a confirmation hearing for former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi who has been nominated to serve as U.S. Attorney General in the incoming Trump Administration. During the hearing, Bondi butted heads with Democratic Senators Mazie Hirono, Sheldon Whitehouse, Alex Padilla, and Richard Blumenthal—but, as Rich notes, Bondi got the better of every-single exchange. 6:30pm- Monologue Replay: On Tuesday, Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee. At one point, Hegseth outlined his plan to eradicate “woke” ideology from the U.S. military—vowing to prioritize combat preparation and competency. Rich notes that President-elect Donald Trump has a unique opportunity to combat the out-of-control growth of the federal government—but his job will be made easier if he has his preferred cabinet.
